Changing Views

The ipod has fundamentally changed the way that I view the media through music. There are many mediums that music comes through, including the radio, satellite, Cd's, and cassettes. The ipod has revolutionized the way that most people buy and listen to their music. Instead of tuning in to a radio station or going to a department store to purchase a CD, they are either spinning the wheel on their ipod or logging on to itunes and buying a song.
With the eradication of the radio, the news and information that was broad casted alongside the music is no longer getting through to the public. This is a very useful tool that is being wasted. In the midst of a rock play list the DJ always interjected some tidbit of world news that some people wouldn't otherwise have heard if it wasn't for that. Even though there still are radios in almost every car it doesn't stray from the fact that there are almost an ipod in every car as well.
The first thing that I do when i get in my car is turn my ipod to shuffle and turn the volume all the way up. When i bought my car radio it wasn't for the radio it was for the ipod hook up that it had. Not only is the ipod affecting what I listen to but it is also affecting what I buy and how I shop. The ipod did affect alot of things in my life that i didn't even realize.
